Again on the 2 for 1.........I don't buy it.

Wasn't ASA awfully close to the 80% ATL flying before we lost all our ATR flying? So, eliminate the ATR's and eliminate 10 more 50's, wouldn't that put ASA below the 80% mark?

Not to mention, Delta can just take away 40 50 seaters that they own without asking permission.

Delta will take aircraft away from any partner, and give the replacements to anybody they want.

Also, if the deal was a 2 for 1 on 900's for 200's, why doesn't Mesaba or Pinnacle have to eliminate 200's everytime they are awarded new aircraft like ASA was told they would have to????

Whipsaw, lies and smokescreens!
